Time to bring on the milers! The First Lady kicks off the three grade

is a dynamite field. Trying to pick a winner was not easy at all, and
who can expect it to be when you have Proviso and Wasted Tears facing

Wasted Tears is on an absolute roll, winning all five of
her start this year. She is one for one over the Keeneland turf and has
a sparkling five wins and one second in eight tries at the mile
distance. Proviso may not be riding an unbeaten season, but she has
been absolutely spectacular over the lawn, winning three out of three
tries, and even beating colts. Both fillies enter this race off of
razor thin winning margins in their last races. Proviso beating Shared
Account by a head while Wasted Tears held gamely, beating out Lilly Fa
Pootz by a scant nose. Both are gritty, and both forces to be reckoned
with over the green. Who will come out on top?
